The situation has become clear. 【】

Zhen Yingjia smiled and said, "Although the dance of the poetry girl is good, I appreciate the dance that shows the prosperity of my emperor and Zhou. ”

There was a chuckle in the hall. This is in line with Zhen Yingjia's identity. In the power field of Jinling, who doesn't know that this is a royal agent? However, at this time, the Zhen family was stared at by the court because of the shortfall. President Zhen can make a gesture of echoing the royal family, but they can't praise him.

Expected choice! Yesterday, President Zhen's eldest son Zhen Li was "humiliated" in public and kicked out, and it would be strange if he would vote today. At the end of the day, the judges are very subjective in terms of ratings in today's competition. This is also in line with the principle of "black box operation".

Su Shishi's head was lowered, and her graceful posture trembled delicately. knows that her efforts in the past few days have been in vain. The all-out performance just now did not get the recognition it deserved. Her dance was praised by the magnates in the capital, why couldn't she conquer the magnates of Jinling?

Li Liangji, a genius in Jiangnan, voted in favor of all famous prostitutes. In this game of competition between power and interests, he is not a single soldier to participate.

Su Shishi scored 9 points. One point less than Yuan Jingxiang, who appeared in the penultimate just now. Obviously, she has already lost, and there is a popular Zinan girl behind her.

At this time, there was an exclamation from the audience outside the Shengqi Building.

"Ahh

"Wang Yuanwai is arrogant."

"It's a big deal!"

After a while, a maid came in to deliver the news, and Wang Heting, a big salt merchant in Yangzhou, in the audience, spent a lot of money and gave Miss Su Shishi 30 flower baskets, equivalent to 30,000 taels of silver. is 15,000 taels more than Yuan Jingxiang, who is temporarily in first place.

In the Oiran Contest, there is no detailed standard for how the sponsorship silver taels in the audience are scored. In the end, it was the ruling of Grandmaster Fang, who presided over the Oiran Tournament. This year, it will be decided by Mr. Nakasan.

No jury thinks that its voting power can be measured in silver. It's just that there is a rough and conventional standard. About 10,000 taels to one point.

Su Shishi's sponsorship of silver taels exceeded Yuan Jingxiang's 15,000 taels of silver. surpassed Yuan Jingxiang in terms of results.

This result was somewhat unexpected. There was a "buzzing" sound in the hall. There was a wealthy businessman who invested 30,000 taels of silver for Su Shishi, and it looked like she won the first place yesterday!

Su Shishi's mood was a little better. At this time, the final results came out, and after saluting, he withdrew from the hall on the first floor. Wait for the final ranking to be decided. There was also a Zinan girl in the back who didn't perform.

Mr. Nakasan nodded slightly. He still admires Su Shishi very much. But he couldn't do as much as his friend Fang Wang did in the jury. After all, his friend has the official status of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, and he just has the reputation of a scholar. The change in the order of appearance today is that he is under a lot of pressure. Otherwise, today should be Su Shishi's last appearance.

Jia Yucun was a little surprised, and glanced at Jia Huan in the distance.

I secretly raised my vigilance in my heart. He didn't expect Jia Huan to have the ability to mobilize 30,000 taels of silver. Born in a noble family, with the fame of a scholar, and silver, such a person is very powerful in doing things.

Jia Huan drank the sweet and soft wine calmly, his eyes were introverted, and he was contemplating and scrutinizing in his heart. The current good situation is only temporary.

In the colorful shed outside the venue, Wang Heting had a smile on his fat face and drank tea indifferently. The Huizhou salt merchants next to him were touting Wang Heting's generous moves. Of course, it was overpowering Zheng Yuanjian, a Jin merchant magnate, and some things were said to them.

Wang Youhong muttered in his heart. The Wang family could have estimated 20,000 taels of silver, but they didn't expect to need 30,000 taels of silver to take advantage. The father who also lost the opportunity to make a decision. But the next thing may not be good!

Zheng Yuanjian glanced coldly at the seven or eight salt merchants chattering on the table next door. Wait and see!

Among the seats at the bottom of the right side of the hall, Luo Ziche smiled and said happily: "In the end, there are still discerning people who are willing to invest money." Even if Miss Su wins the second place, the 30,000 taels of silver is estimated to be earned. ”

Su Shishi is temporarily in first place, but Luo Ziche will not think that the results of the last Zinan girl will be lower than her. It's been set for a long time.

Tong Zhengyan shook his huge head and sneered: "Brother Ziche, don't forget that when you went to Yangzhou, you gave Wang Jiayin a handful." ”

Luo Ziche rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Han Jin smiled and listened to his companion's bickering. At this time, I suddenly heard a sentence in my ear, "Brother You'an, where are you going?" Turning his head, he saw that Xiao Youan, a Yangzhou scholar on the right hand, was leaving the seat. Follow the back passage towards the side door. It was Zhu Huazang who asked the question.

Xiao Youan is in his thirties, his appearance is very ordinary, but his temperament is very elegant, he is wearing a blue robe, and he replied: "I am in a hurry to change clothes." ”

After Su Shishi retreated, the venue in the middle of the hall was vacant. After experiencing a small "twist and turn", the last famous prostitute Zi Nan entered the hall today. There were also several women dancing with them. With the sound of the "sonorous" pipa, the last program of the Oiran Contest began.

It's also dancing. The title of the repertoire is "Dance in the Emperor's Palace" compiled by Lin Jitong, a talented man and famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, based on the dance music of the Tang Dynasty. This is a court dance, singing the praises of the emperor Shengming, the virtuous ministers, and the prosperity of the peace. This large-scale dance is divided into nine sections. At this time, Zinan danced the most widely circulated section of "The Jade Girl and the Immortal".

After the dance, the whole hall cheered.

Jia Huan bared his teeth a little and took a soft breath.

This Zinan girl is twenty-eight years old, medium in stature, delicate and beautiful. What she sang yesterday was Li Bai's "Guan Shanyue". It's hard to imagine that this Jiangnan beauty would sing majestic war poems.

Coupled with today's majestic court dance, it is easy for people to have an extremely deep impression of her.

It is said that these famous prostitutes really have two brushes, and they are by no means famous. For example: Yuan Jingxiang obviously took the "technical route" to establish herself in the Qinglou, and her Kunqu opera sang so well.

After Zi Nan finished dancing, the women dancing around her all withdrew, and she stood alone in the hall, waiting for the score and the result.

At the top of the hall, Mr. Nakasan, who was sitting in the center of the Oiran Contest, smiled slightly and praised, "Good dance." "It's hard for a celebrity like him to say something that goes against his conscience. It's good, it's good. It is impossible to deliberately belittle.

One vote. Five votes. All six votes in the Baume & Mercier circle were obtained.

Chen Gaolang said with a smile: "When the emperor was the emperor, the old man had the honor to watch the musicians in the palace play all the "Dance in the Emperor's Palace", which was magnificent, showing the atmosphere of our emperor Zhou Guotai and people's peace. Lin Sanyuan, who created this song, is eight buckets high, and no one has reached it since the dynasty was established! Miss Zinan still has to practice diligently. ”

Chen Gaolang abstained.

There was a slight chatter in the hall. Clear-eyed people can see that this is out of consideration to avoid suspicion. After all, Zinan's lead was too big.

Some people set their sights on Jia Huan. Chen Shangshu has something to say. In terms of talent alone, Jia Ziyu seems to be almost weighty compared with Lin Jitong, the great talent of the Shizu Dynasty. Lin Sanyuan is recognized as a figure who can be compared with the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty: Xie Jin, Yang Shen, and Xu Wei.

Jia Huan sat calmly.

Next, Zinan won all the votes. A total of 11 votes. Two votes higher than Su Shishi. At this time, the number of flower baskets in the audience outside was counted. 42 in total. Among them, Zheng Yuanjian, a salt merchant in Yangzhou, smashed 35,000 taels of silver. More than the 30,000 taels smashed by Wang Heting, a salt merchant in Yangzhou.

At this point, the ranking of the entire Oiran Contest is clear at a glance. The top four are Zi Nan, Su Shishi, Yuan Jingxiang, and Bing Wan.

The hall fell silent, just waiting for Mr. Nakasan to announce the results.

In the color shed of the audience, Zheng Yuanjian glanced at Wang Heting and other Hui merchants with a smile, and said lightly: "How?" ”

The pride came naturally.

Wang Heting smiled and didn't speak. He lost for a while, but with an investment of 30,000 taels of silver, even if Su Shishi was the second place, he could recover the cost.

The eldest son next to him, Wang Youhong, was a little angry. It's not that the Wang family's financial resources can't compare to the Zheng family, right? But it was for the Zheng family to grab the jackpot. How unpleasant.

Sitting at the other table, Ma Juntai, who remained neutral, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

It's not a question of strength, it's a question of the order of appearance. According to the practice of previous years, Su Shishi will be the last to appear. But she was the second-to-last appearance. That's a loss. Moreover, who would have thought that the Zheng family would support Zinan?

Tens of thousands of taels of silver are smashed down, it is by no means as simple as vindictiveness, there must be an exchange of interests in it. I just don't know when Zheng Yuanjian, who relies on the Zhen family, will connect with the Chen family?

Moreover, he was actually a little worried that the salt merchants in Yangzhou would leave a bad impression on the high-ranking officials in Jinling if they were so rich and high-profile.

In the hall, when Mr. Zhongsan was about to announce the ranking, Jia Huan suddenly got up and said: "Mr. Zhongsan, it is difficult to get ten beautiful words for students, and I am willing to replace the portraits of ten beauties." ”

"Haha...!"

"I can't afford to lose!"

"A futile struggle."

Yesterday, Jia Huan wrote a cut of plum-red lotus fragrance remnant jade autumn, and won the first place in Su Shishi, some admired, and naturally some people were dissatisfied. It's not just Jia Huan who disrupted the order, but also because he was in the limelight. At this time, the hall was filled with sarcastic voices.

Mr. Nakasan was a little helpless and a little dissatisfied. Jia Huan is playing a temper and picking on people. But in such a situation, he really can't force it. Su Shishi didn't take the first place, is it still not allowed to be dissatisfied?

Several old men in the celebrity circle shook their heads with laughter. This young man is really temperamental!

Chen Zizhen raised his voice and mocked: "Jia Xiaoyou, this is your mistake!" Since it's a game, there will be wins and losses. It's all like you to vent your frustration after losing, is it necessary to organize this Oiran Contest? ”

Jia Huan wants to compete for the first place in the Oiran Competition, which infringes on the interests of the Chen family, and he will certainly not have the "kind" attitude when he met Jia Huan on Taihu Lake in Suzhou.

Jia Huan hissed his eyes and rolled his eyelids, "It's just another alternative." I really don't feel like I'm in the mood to write poetry right now. I've already drawn a few of them, so I'd like to ask Mr. Nakasan to take a look. ”

As he spoke, all ten famous prostitutes who participated in the competition had gathered from the back into the hall on the first floor of the Shengqi Building. The audience was already boiling and talking. Because the competition is over, all that's left is to announce the rankings.

However, who would have expected that Jia Huan, who was in the limelight yesterday, would pick on his son and vent his dissatisfaction? Hundreds of spectators in the auditorium watched the movement in the hall.

The maid presented the charcoal drawing drawn by Jia Huan to Mr. Zhongsan.

Lin Qianwei had a smile on her face. Because, she knew that Jia Huan's painting would definitely surprise Mr. Zhongsan.

At this point, if we look a little further. In the picture, Xiao Youan, who sneaked out of the venue under the pretext of an excuse, is coming from outside Mochou Lake with more than 30 prisoners from Guozi Prison.

Farther away, on the Qinhuai River, a small boat came galloping. The bow of the ship was dressed in a seven-rank imperial history, followed by four majestic men. Wearing a flying fish suit, he wears an embroidered spring knife at his waist. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
